HDB renovation: Final inspection for sustainable design elements (checklist)

A final inspection ensures that all sustainable design elements agreed upon are correctly implemented and meet the required standards, contributing to a more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient home.

Verify the use of certified eco-friendly materials, check for proper installation, and ensure that any recycled content claims are accurate and documented.

Confirm that all installed light fixtures are the specified energy-efficient models (e.g., LED), check their functionality, and ensure proper disposal of old, inefficient bulbs.

Check that low-flow showerheads, faucets, and dual-flush toilets are installed correctly and functioning as intended, verifying their Water Efficiency Labeling Scheme (WELS) ratings.

Ensure that ventilation systems are correctly installed and functioning to promote good indoor air quality, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning and energy consumption.

Request documentation such as product certifications, warranty information, and any relevant reports or assessments related to the sustainable features implemented in your HDB renovation.
